Special Committee on Covid-19 Response

Covid-19: Impact on Aviation

Mr. Ray Gray:

The Government, through its transport officials and supporting agencies, has been keen to understand the impacts on the business at Dublin and Cork airports, in particular. We have engaged with them on this and they have made measures available to us in the general course of events, like the temporary wage subsidy scheme and discussions about rates rebates. However, today Cork Airport is an area of particular focus for us.
